We are having an issue with app's that arent on the C: are launching before the network drive is mapped. I get logged into windows but get an error saying it cant find the app. You can close that app and go to the network drive and click on the app and it works fine. Its a timing issue with the application launching before the network drive is available/mapped for that program to run. Any ideas...
 
This might happen....

What i sugguest is that you use the UNC path.

Eg. \\TestServer\c$\Myapplication\app.exe

Nixu
 
Works with QB

Wotks with Quick Books, but there are programs that have to have a drive letter. Are there any work arounds, we used a batch file to slow down the launching of the program untill the drive is mapped. Is there a any correct this with your software or windows?

I have solved this by using an login script.
It first delete any mapping to the drive with net use <drive:> /D
Create teh <Drive:>
Optional you can build a wait and then execute your app.

Another way to solve this, is to make an vbscript, wise-executable, winbatch of wathever program you wan't, which will make the network drive before executing your app.
